AlphaRet Exfoliating Peel Pads

$130.00

An at-home peel that pairs AlphaRet®, a patented retinoid and lactic acid combination, with a triple-acid complex of glycolic, lactic and salicylic acids. Together they help reduce the appearance of fine lines, pores and rough patches and lift dead skin to help prevent clogged pores. Each pad is individually packaged, and there is no rinsing.

Why Dr. Howarth recommends it
The exfoliating step in a retinoid routine, in place of a second daily acid product. The single-use pads keep each application consistent, and the manufacturer’s limit of 3 nights a week keeps exfoliation in check.
  • Reduces the appearance of fine lines, pores and rough patches
  • Exfoliates and removes dead skin to help prevent clogged pores
  • Lactic acid moisturizes while it exfoliates
  • Individually packaged, no rinse needed

In the evening after cleansing, sweep a pad over face, neck and décolleté in small circular motions, avoiding the lips and eye area, up to 3 times a week; start with once a week if skin is new to acids or retinoids. Do not rinse; wait a few minutes before applying other skincare. Wear sunscreen by day, as the AHA may increase sun sensitivity during use and for a week afterward. Contains a topical retinoid; if pregnant, nursing or planning to become pregnant, consult a physician before use, and using more than one exfoliating product may cause irritation.

  • AlphaRet®: patented combination of a retinoid and lactic acid
  • Glycolic and lactic acids: alpha hydroxy acids that exfoliate while lactic acid adds moisture
  • Salicylic acid: beta hydroxy acid that helps reduce the appearance of pores
